Page 36 of Shae’s Bounty

Raela takes another step closer to me and walks her fingers up my chest. The hologram ripples with each tap of her claws, and I snatch her hand away.

“That is a very long story,” she says wistfully.

I’m about to push her to elaborate when a low groan draws my attention to the Pizat from earlier. Boljis is standing in the middle of the room, his palm splayed on the back of a small female’s head as she chokes on his girthy cock. Beside him is a male, probably her mate, who is only slightly larger than the female. Boljis’s hand circles the male’s narrow neck as he thrusts his thick tongue down his throat.

“Jesus,” Shae murmurs beside me.

My head swings over to her, and despite the hologram, I can see the blush creeping into her cheeks. Suddenly, the reason we’re here is forgotten, and before I can stop myself, I ask, “Like what you see, lovely?” The words come out a deep growl. I’m not sure if I like the idea of her liking the display or not. “Does seeing males and females together make you hot?”

She drags her eyes away from the triad across the room but stays silent. Her words aren’t necessary; it’s plain that she finds the scene erotic. Just like I find that watching her get turned on is equally erotic.

Another groan has her eyes darting back to the Pizat, where another couple is joining in. Two females are locked in an embrace while the males they came with watch raptly.

The room quickly fills with the sounds of pleasure as couples start to pair off or join together. Out of the corner of my eye, I catch Raela backing away.

“Where are you sneaking off to?” I snap.

“I have work to do.” Her eyes survey the room before coming back to me. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret” Before I can stop her, she turns and disappears.

“We’re going to talk about that,” Shae promises, stepping up beside me after she’s gone.

“We’ll see,” I say, carefully schooling my face by pasting on my most bored expression. Then I tuck my arm back around her waist, drawing her against my side once more. “Shall we explore?”

I lead Shae over to a place where we can watch the couples who are already fucking. Moving her so she stands in front of me, I curl my arms around her from behind. The scene enfolding before us is explicit, and I don’t miss the soft gasp that escapes her.

“What is it you like best?” I whisper into her ear. “Is it the males?” I gently turn her head to where a male has taken the female’s place, sucking the Pizat’s large cock. “Or perhaps you like to watch females?” I tilt her chin to where a femaleAmean is writhing on her back with another female on her hands and knees, lapping between her legs while a male fucks her from behind.

Shae is quiet, but I don’t miss the way her breath quickens. Slowly, I slide my hand across her hips and then up between her breasts to rest at the base of her collar. I don’t miss the way her nipples pebble through her dress against my arm. The pointed tips tease me, begging for my touch, although I suspect Shae would try to stop me if I were to sneak my hand under the low neckline. So, I keep my hands to myself. For now.

A couple standing close to us catches my eye when the female turns and buries her face in the male’s chest.

When I arch a brow at her behavior, the male shrugs. “We’re new at this, and she’s still very shy.”

I nod, feigning understanding. I don’t miss the way his gaze swipes over Shae.

“Perhaps we can…”

I shake my head, tightening my arms around my—Shae. “She likes to watch. I do not push her to participate.”

The male frowns but slowly nods. “And is she agreeable if you…” His eyes sneak to where two males are pounding into a squealing female, one in the front, the other in back.

“Mm,” I hum in answer, letting my hands roam over more of Shae’s luscious body as I tuck the top of her head under my chin. Watching the sex playing out before us isn’t doing much for me. However, with her backside pressing against the front of my trousers, I can’t help the way my body is stirring. I find that I like knowing she can feel it too.

Vittu.

All of this is turning into a problem. First, running into Raela, and now I’m getting hard for this female when I’m supposed to be focusing on how we can take down Kurrahstka.

Shae’s breathing is coming fast, and I’m willing to bet that if I slid my hand between her thighs, she’d be drenched. I close my eyes and try to temper my own breathing. Having her pliant in my arms, aroused and needing, is making me want things—things I’m certain she has no intention of allowing me to take. It’s messing with my head.

Leaning down, I let my lips brush the shell of her ear and close my eyes at the way she shivers, liking that I affect her that way. “Would you like to stay and watch some more?”

Her body tenses at my words, and she pulls away. Just slightly, just enough to remind me that it’s the handsome hologram affecting her. Not me.

“Or shall we go back to our room and have that talk you seem to think you’re owed?”

She tips her chin up and meets my eyes, the hard gleam of them cutting through the hologram. Without so much as a word, she gives her answer. Spinning away from the spectacle, I hurry to catch up with her as she flees from the banquet room. Soft feminine giggles and gruff masculine moans follow us out.

With any luck, anyone who sees our hasty exit will think we’re leaving to take advantage of our private room one last time.
